i've been enjoying sleep so much lately...a return of dreams, many and vivid...awakening to morning cloudy skies and drifting back to sleep to a new dream...awoken by a kiss goodbye and, hello another dream!...and then it's 11 and i get to see a new sg set!

...ah, to be unemployed.

there will never be a new album frown as a band they no longer exist.

the other day, when we were camping on one of the last undeveloped beaches on the island, i was walking along the lava shelf collecting sea salt and saw the dark entrances to some lava tubes visible among the other myriad rocks and shadows. i always like to look in them and see if they open up into big ones (some are 30 miles long!)...

hm...you probably content no matter where you are if you have a regular meditation practice (ninji, what is up, girl? would you ohm already? it's safe. and sound. and altogether fruitful).

wink

your litle enclave wonderlands sound wondrous.

i love how it is the moment when you are thinking about something the least that you figure it out...how insight sometimes comes on its own...

*raises eyebrow*

what's yer insight, sir?
theslant:
I too, find this idiosyncrasy of existence fascinating. I often find that when I am so obsessed and plagued with resolving some conflict or figuring out some problem, I get nowhere. But it's only when I just let go of the obsession and the desire to best the problem with my wits that the problem is overcome.

There's an obscure poem circa the beat generation era named, "In Transit," by Lenore Kandel. Have you read it? Though the meter is uneven and unstructured, its simple message rang true to me back in high school, even though I didn't understand the whole of the poem.

I am perusing your musical tastes, and films, and books, and I am smitten with you. Who likes Tom Waits nowadays?? And Gamelan? Traditional Indonesian music, right? Damn. I look forward to reading more of your thoughts and insights.

here, we are the only people for miles. sleeping in this toolshed it's just us, the mouse, the wild pigs, a mongoose or two and a few cows. and grass, hundreds and hundreds of acres of grass. our work is hard, our hands get all cutup, we sweat all day and stink until we go back south in a day or two and can shower....

i'm continually amazed by the brilliance of plants...they're so clever! as a form of life they are so adaptable and tough...their ability to proliferate is overwhelming. and to think how it all started with simple one celled organisms...and how it transformed into redwoods, into the sargasso sea.

and to drive from the country into a city wallowing in smog...is so terrible. i always think how...

i hiked to the volcano today, watched it ease some lava out, felt the heat of the belly of the earth, saw some tourists wearing american flag outfits, threw all my money in the magma and watched it melt.

occasionally Crispin *tours*. He reads from his books, and shows some of his films-usually the ones that are out-of print and really hard to find, but mostly the one's that haven't really *come out*.
for some reason, the name of that film is escaping me, but it was the first thing of the night.
he then read from some of his books and had slide shows to accompany them..usually made up of the illustrations from said books. after all that was done, he pulled up a table and basically invited everyone in the house to get in line and talk to him...so i waited smile
he was super cool, super nice..not really dorky like he seems he might be. real chill.
i shook his hand, he was wearing a really nice wool suit and he looked just like he did in Back to the Future..
it's kinda hard to find his books, and he had 3 of them there that you could get for $50, so i threw down... he autographed one of them for me, as well as my CD copy of his album..which he was selling as well..i asked him about this movie he made with Gary Coleman and he told me he used to show it at his shows, but stopped now that he had that new movie to show..i could go on for days about what was going on in the movie, but i was really trying as hard as i could to figure out what exactly it was about!!!! like i had posted before, it was pretty bizarre-not in a grotesque/your a freak kinda way, but more of a "what the fuck is going on?" kinda thing.
the whole club was mystified...like 200+ people all scratching their heads.
about the lyrics thing-i really didn't expect people to respond to me!!! i just spent the whole day listening to Nick Drake's The Pink Moon and didn't hear a thing!!!
people freak out over him and his lyrics, but i got nothing out of it..
oh well....
did you really hike to a volcano on Monday?
dr_knownothing:
of course.

somedays, for fun, when the sea is high and the waves are big we walk out on to the exposed lava shelf and find the deep blow hole the ocean water shoots out of like a geyser. we make a man out of sticks and palm leaves and a coconut for a head and throw him down there and run away as we feel the...
